Used Hockey Equipment Drive Underway

Minnesota Hockey, the Minnesota Wild and Let's Play Hockey will partner for the ninth straight year for the annual Used Hockey Equipment Drive across the Twin Cities. Berger Transfer will place drop-off boxes at select arenas and hockey shops starting Friday, Sept. 1 through Sunday, Sept. 24.

From 10 a.m. until noon on Sunday, Oct. 1, thousands of pieces of donated equipment will be distributed for free to hockey associations and individuals at Xcel Energy Center. Goalie equipment, sticks and helmets are always the most in need.

"We are excited to continue with the ninth annual Used Hockey Equipment Drive," said Bryan Zollman, publisher of Let's Play Hockey. "We encourage anyone with old hockey equipment laying around their house or in their garage to donate it to the drive. Doing so will give other young hockey players the opportunity to get involved and enjoy the great game of hockey."
